Howdy! The control arm broke loose from the thing it attaches to and was wondering if anyone had any experience in removing the thing the control arm is attached to? Is it easy to remove, or am I looking at heating it up or using some kind of puller once the nut is removed? Please see pictures... third party imagethird party imagethird party image

I got mine off by removing the nut (My spring was missing) and spraying the end of the keyway full of Kroil.
Then I put a stack of washers on the shaft and replaced and tightened the nut.
This forced the touch control lever toward the centerline of the tractor whilst breaking it loose on the shaft.
Then I drove a couple of wedges made of old screwdrivers behind the flange and worked them alternately to force the lever off.
The shaft was quite rusty once it came apart, so I scraped then polished it with Scotch-Brite and ran a bronze pistol brush through the hub and applied anti-sieze to it upon re-assembly with a new friction disc.
Good luck with whatever you try. John C. (IN)

Larry,
I thought mine was going to be a butt to get off, I heated mine with a propane torch until it was hot enough that I could not hold my hand on it. Amazingly it came right off when I stuck a screwdriver behind it.
Hope you have the same luck.
Jim

The part you are looking at is alluminum it is a real pain in the REAR most of the time to remove without breaking. BUT then sometimes we get lucky. I haven't found any puller that worked if it is stuck,but drive a couple wedges behind it and drive it off. These are still available through New Holland.Get a new friction disk at the same time.

If you really need to get that snow plowed you should clamp a big pair of vice grip pliers onto the aluminum disc plate that the touch control bolt has come out of and worry about fixint it at a more oppertune time.

You could be opening up a real cam of worms trying to get that think off the shaft. It is aluminum and more than likely it is stuck on the shaft and will be a pain to get off. A puller won't do it because even if you manage to get one on the edges of it all that will do is break the thing when you tighten the puller.

Usually take an acetylene torch to heat it enough to make it move and even then you are prone to melt it before it will move. Sometimes the only way to get one off it to melt it off.

You can go to most any auto parts store and buy a sheet of bulk cork gasket material. Just cut out one to fit the friction clutck disc.

Only thing wrong with this senero (sp) it that you are going to have the same liklihood that you are going to ruin the outer disc trying to get it off.

Larry, I was lucky 'cause my lift arms came off the rocker arm easily after removing the cap screws, but I have learned that is an exception. The archives are full of questions and responses on the topic. I will include a link below to one such thread when the guy drinking beer where he should not be had to change his last year.:-) Hope this helps.

Ha!, forgot about that pic!(-:

Since that post in the archieves, I have indeed rebuilt/repaired my lift cover, the new bushings from NH were steel instead of brass/bronze, I also bought a new friction disk, cam foller pin, and that sheet metal cover thing'y that goes on the control spring.

I also had trouble removeing the "Hub" that the lever is bolted to, as some others said, use a propane torch and lots of WD-40 or the like.
